PhD/Master students, how many published papers does your Professor require before you can graduate? I don't see anything listed in Graduate Catalogs/Graduate School. My Professor stated different from when I started saying one and now requiring more which would result in me graduating 1 year late.

My concern is that I don't have anything in writing. I don't know any other grad students in my department that a written agreement unless government is involved in project. My department doesn't do written agreements with how many papers we need to graduate but the Professors can withold signing final thesis/dissertation paper and preventing graduation because of it.
